This bifurcated lecture video has been making the rounds, unfortunately only in Youtube. They are from a recently cleared video of a 1982 lecture by the late Rear Admiral (then Captain) Grace Hopper on education and computer science. So get it while it lasts:
"Capt. Grace Hopper on Future Possibilities: Data,
Hardware, Software, and People (Part One, 1982)"

"Capt. Grace Hopper on Future Possibilities: Data,
Hardware, Software, and People (Part Two, 1982)"
https://youtu.be/AW7ZHpKuqZg
She's at least 40 years ahead of her time there and covers a wide range ideas, so it is hard to summarize. Overall, it is a fascinating and thought provoking presentation by an authentic legend. It is subtitled with subtitles of reasonable quality.
The background is that the NSA had lost the hardware to actually read the medium on which the original recording of the lecture was stored:
https://www.nsa.gov/Press-Room/Press-Re ... r-adm-gra/

She was probably the key person in forming what we know now as computer programming.
